2.6.8.1-nitro6 "Say no to no say" on duty here (love the name) - we're back on Reiser4 too, after a brief stint with XFS

[irasnyd]

Working great here too. It's my first time using a nitro kernel (was using love-sources for a long time).

I like it

[b1c1l1]

With nitro5 in GNOME, Alt-F2 (Run Application) always lagged before showing up. Now with nitro6, Alt-F2 works instantly. No idea why, but I'm glad.

thank you for this kernel, my Nvidia driver issues from nitro5 have been fixed. Everything is working great. And the USB mouse patch makes my mouse feel ultra smooth, and then applying 800dpi makes it unbelievable! I have never used a mouse with this much precision and speed.

[Robin79]

hmmm when burning using latest k3b 0.11.14 it goes slow as hell everything gets slow mouse and everything i will try to emerge the latest stable k3b now!! And see if thats the issue if not back to nitro5

I dont think that it was a good idea to apply the 500 HZ mouse patch. I had already tested 500 HZ + 800 DPI, but i didn't like the mouse behaviour. 800 DPI Patch is enough for me.

Otherwise a very good job.

Uhm, when doing a make oldconfig and then doing also make menuconfig i couldn't find in
device drivers => graphics support the fbsplash support?
where is it??

[Hauser]

I think it should be 'Support for the framebuffer splash'.

Do I like to compile everything?
Positive definite!

[luqas]

Stephan, I see if fine in the kernel under Device Drivers -> Graphics Support. Do you have the following enabled in your kernel?

Device Drivers -> Block Devices:
Loopback device support
Ram disk support
Initial RAM disk (initrd) support

Device Drivers -> Graphics Support:
Support for frame buffer devices

Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Console Display driver support:
Video Text Mode Selection
Framebuffer Console Support

Holy crap! Its like I force-fed my machine steroids! Sounds funny saying this, but this seems like a big boost from -nitro5, and the changelog didn't seem that big (guess the CK sources fixed a bunch upstream). This prolly shaved about 5-10 seconds off my boot time, so needless to say, I'm happy.

OK, 1G low memory indeed shows 6 times, but selecting it doesn't work (only 884 Megs get used)

Great kernel though, compiles cleanly, works FAST!

Can anyone eplain the "kernel timer frequencies" though. The help is blank. I usually just leave it on default.

What's the difference?

Hmm, sorry to say that on my system this is desperatley slow.

I can't work out why (nitro5 was the 2nd most responsive and fastest kernel I have used). For example, when emergeing something, firefox took 27 seconds to open (usually taking at most 2-3 seconds even with emerges going on), and switching between desktops took 7 seconds for x to catch up (I only had one terminal and firefox open), it makes the computer unusable.

As I say, I don't know why this would be but I look forward to the next one.

Thanks seppe, you are doing a great job - just see how many people are viewing the nitro threads

edit:

Just wanted to add a bit more (may help someone else) - I left it in nitro6 and went and made a cup of tea, had a ciggie, etc. When I came back a few mins later, my mouse wheel had stopped working (!) and I couldn't change desktop in fluxbox. Being interested I left it another couple of mins and then no mouse buttons would work. I had to three finger out of there,

Again, I have no idea why all this is happening and am back in 2.6.7-ck5 and all is well so it's most likely not a configuration problem.

Just thought I'd let you know - although i have now removed nitro6 from my system let me know if you want any more info.

[rush_ad]

working well with gensplash and everything. love nitro.

[d0nju4n]

I'm noticing a similar speed to nitro5 here, but when with this kernel, druing a compile xmms tends to skip pretty regularly. This only happened with nitro5 if I was compiling two or more things, and even then the skipping was very infrequent.

Tadaa! Nitro sources has now it's own webpage and RSS Feed

From now on, I will post releases there as well
